Why build your own thermodynamics deck

Thermodynamics is one of the topics where AQA A-level chemistry students most often lose marks on exact definitions, sign conventions and units. Instead of a generic deck, you can turn your own class notes into AQA A-level chemistry thermodynamics flashcards in a few minutes.

Definitions of standard enthalpy changes with their standard conditions
Hess's law and enthalpy cycle questions with worked sign checks
Entropy and Gibbs free energy equations with unit conversions
Lattice enthalpy and Born-Haber cycle terms for ionic compounds

Example AQA A-level chemistry thermodynamics flashcards

Define standard enthalpy of formation.The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound forms from its elements in their standard states, under standard conditions of 298 K and 100 kPa.

What does a negative enthalpy change of reaction indicate?The reaction is exothermic, so it releases energy to the surroundings and the products have less energy than the reactants.

State Hess's law.The total enthalpy change for a reaction is the same whatever route is taken, provided the initial and final conditions are the same.

What is the equation linking Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy?ΔG = ΔH − TΔS, with T in kelvin. Convert ΔS from J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ to kJ K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ so it matches the units of ΔH.

What is lattice enthalpy?The enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic solid forms from its gaseous ions under standard conditions.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the content, so the cards match your course.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and familiar ones are spaced further apart, so definitions and equations stay in memory before the exam.

Study anywhere

Review flashcards in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for printing or studying in other apps.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a Word file, typed notes or photos of your thermodynamics pages.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl creates question-and-answer cards from the topics it finds, such as enthalpy, Hess's law and Gibbs free energy.

Review on a schedule

Study the deck with spaced repetition and mark which cards you knew, so the next session focuses on what you still need.

A printable worksheet covers the same questions for every student, but a deck built from your own lesson notes and past paper feedback targets the gaps you actually have. Cards are written from your material, so the wording matches how your teacher explained enthalpy cycles and entropy.

Work through the deck little and often, and check each card against your notes when you get it wrong. Spaced repetition then handles the scheduling, so you spend less time deciding what to review.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for AQA A-level chemistry thermodynamics?

Aim for one card per definition, equation or energy-change idea rather than a fixed number. Thermodynamics has many short definitions with exact wording, so separate cards for each usually work better than long combined ones.

What should go on the front and back of a thermodynamics flashcard?

Put a short term or question on the front, such as Define standard enthalpy of formation. Put the exact definition on the back, including state symbols, conditions and units, because examiners often check those details.

Can I export my thermodynamics flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus costs $39/year or $7.99/month and includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export along with unlimited generations.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes. The free plan gives 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports are not included on the free plan.
